Abstract
A standard reader in excellent condition. It includes five fables and indifferent two-color illustrations by various artists. By a wonderful coincidence I happen to have a later version of this reader after fourteen years and three revisions. This original version uses two fables labelled Aesopic that show up there, but BW (125) uses a different version, though the same illustration. LS (127) changes the text only slightly but drops the one illustration here and puts in two others. The Monkey and the Cats is not here, nor is the fable of the larks. The Frogs' Travels (155 here) is continued but revised. This version adds The Eagle and the Fox (21) and labels it a fable. The story is new to me. The eagle drops the fox on an island, and the fox gets back to land by pretending to count the large sea animals across whom he walks. It also adds The Wolves and the Deer (143) as a fable: laughing shows a predator's teeth--or lack of them.
